\biography
Andrew M. Dawes was born in Pullman, Washington on December 11, 1979. He grew up in Moscow, Idaho, a small university town in the rolling hills of the Palouse. In 1998 he graduated from Moscow High School and matriculated at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. He received the B.A. degree with honors in physics in 2002. He began graduate study at Duke University in the fall of 2002 at which point he joined the Quantum Electronics Lab under the supervision of Dr. Daniel J. Gauthier. In 2003 he married Leslie Lauren Crandell and has gone by Andrew M. Crandell Dawes since. He received his A.M. in 2005 and his Ph.D. in 2008 for his study of all-optical switching in atomic vapor.

Andrew was named Teaching Assistant of the year in 2004. Also while at Duke, he received the Walter Gordy Departmental Fellowship from the Duke University Department of Physics, and the John T. Chambers Fellowship from the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics. In 2006 he was a finalist for the OSA New Focus/Bookham Student Award.
